The Armor: In 1949, the 332nd Fighter Group entered the first USAF Gunnery Meet and achieved absolute perfection, winning the Reciprocating Engine Class in their F-47N Thunderbolts . This shield represents the undeniable truth of that victory. The Artifact: For over five decades, the physical proof of their dominance—a three-foot silver trophy—sat lost in museum storage. Uncovered in 2005 by historian Zellie Rainey Orr, the truth could no longer be contained. The Original Shield is worn to ensure this history is permanently protected.Size guide LENGTH (inches) WIDTH (inches) CHEST (inches) XS 27 16 ½ 31-34 S 28 18 34-37 M 29 20 38-41 L 30 22 42-45 XL 31 24 46-49 2XL 32 26 50-53 3XL 33 28 54-57 4XL 34 30 58-61 5XL 35 31 62-65 Show more
